Valentine Canvas

I had completely forgot I had done this for the Tic-Tac-Toe

 challenge over at Flying-Unicorn.

The challenge was to create something using different elements

 that made a tic-tac-toe.

I decided to cover the board with my altered canvas.

Stamps from Oxford Impressions. Bon Bon plate

Collage image from Alpha Stamps Wistful collage sheet.

You still have a few days to get in on the FUN, stop on over at Flying- Unicorn,

 show your stuff and maybe even win some prizes!

I Love Rusty things

Even if I have to make it myself.

Playing more with the New Steampunk Telegraph plate from

 Oxford Impressions

I created this rusty book. Stamped all the gears into Sculpty Epox

Then rusted everything up.

Bits and pieces come from an old cash register.

Added a layer of mica over the text.

So much fun to create!

Marie- Alpha Stamps

Do you Love Marie?

 With the regal images and rich costumes and jewelry this lady wears so well.

If so you may want to check out Alpha Stamps

Where you just might want to get in on the" Off With Her Shoe" swap!!!

That's right..The sweetest Chipboard Marie Shoes comes in two different sizes.

The larger shoe is used for the swap.

Here's the mini shoe, Where I added a little umbrella made from a rosette.

and stamped the birds from the new Marie "How's My Hair" rubber stamps.

The larger Marie shoe- She could be a Snow Princess in this one.

Of course it wouldn't be Marie without her signature turquoise.

Another lages shoe.
